Students: Please review the Absences and Excuses policy on pages 24-26 of the Handbook. Please take special note of the fact that after 4 absences in any block, you must have documentation in the form of a "doctor note, court note, funeral program, school nurse, etc. A note from your parents does not qualify as valid documentation." If you are sick in the morning, you may come in and see the school nurse before school starts to receive an excuse from the nurse if you meet their criteria (saves the expense of a doctor visit). The Attendance Committee does not meet until April 9th and we already have 38 of you on the list!!!

Sophomores and Juniors - Baseball season is coming up and we need student workers for the concession stand. Each game that you work means money off of next year's prom ticket.

Only 7 days left to purchase your prom ticket. You can purchase your ticket in the library before school and at 10-minute break. Only 3 days left to get your Guest Request Form turned into Mr. Schmitt.
